Freakanomics=good book, you should read it.

Steven D. Levitt in his book Freakanomics stated “unwanted children have an increased risk of growing up to be criminals, and legalized abortion reduces the number of unwanted children. Consequently, legalized abortion lowers crime in the future.” I believe that if people do not want to have a child they should not be forced too. Having parental consent is not necessary for an abortion because it is their childs body and so they have a right to decide what tumors they do and do not want inside of them. It is important that the parents are aware of what is going on in the child’s life and that they always have a strong bond of communication. So the parents should be notified of anything that might put the childs health at risk, especially emotionally.

The biological father does not have to be informed because it is not pertinent information and if that person is the father they should be with their baby momma with or without notification because that would be the right thing to do. In many cases the mother does not know for sure who the father is, so it is irrelevant.
